Several soil bacteria can grown on toluene as the sole carbon and energy source. If toluene can enter many different pathways, the catabolism of dimethylated compounds such as xylenes, appears much more restricted. Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1 can grown on o-xylene, 2,3,- and 3,4-dimethylphenol, toluene and cresols as the only carbon and energy sources. The pathway is chromosomally encoded and evidence suggests that their catabolism proceeds through the same catabolic route and involves oxygenation reactions of the aromatic ring. This study describes the cloning of a gene cluster encoding the early stages of catabolism of o-xylene and toluene in P. stutzeri OX1. 39 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
